Games consoles
« on: 14 July 2010, 16:13:42 »
What is it with kids?
My 11 year old son has a PS3 after smashing his PS2, albeit in an accident, he was carrying it down the stairs and he fell and dropped it, at least he only grazed himself.
Now he is pestering me to find him another PS2 as he hates the PS3.
He says he prefers the PS2, cannot think why? Any ideas, means nothing to me.
Are they still available to buy? I looked on eBay and seem cheap enough but I am weary of buying there as they may be busted etc etc.
All ideas considered folks.

I have an Xbox so don't know anything about Playstations but would have though your little'n would prefer a PS3 :-?
I am sure you can play new games on a PS3 but not on a PS2. Like you say though you can get them cheaply now :y

Thats a very odd thing as most kids always want and love the latest gaming machines! Maybe he finds the newer games too difficult to play maybe? graphics n gameplay have come on so much.

As regards to a PS2 they are cheap enough to buy but i would keep the PS3 in case he changes his mind later!

I will keep it, but he says he is fed up of losing or summat, I know nothing of these items, apart that they cost a fortune for the games.

Only the first generation of PS3's played PS2 games, and then it was only a few of them would work, other didn't run properly etc etc. Some of the early PS3's had a hardware emulator, others used software, and then Sony scrapped it all together :o

So if it's not a very early PS3 there is no backwards compatibility.

My young stepson tells me only EARLY PS3's ever played some PS2 games, all the newer ones (including his) only play the new games, and all the 50 or 60 old PS2 games he has are useless now to him.

He has put them all on ebay now, and is totally gutted cos some of the games (duke nukem, etc) are brilliant!!

I don't have many games as I too prefer PC gaming, but you cannot fault the PS3 for what it does.

Indeed, as an all round media device it's cracking. Blu Ray is outstanding, media streaming, playing CD's. The sound quality from the Sony is awsome especially hooked up through the amp and speakers I have for my theatre set-up.

i used to be a PC gamer, hated consoles, but i got bored of the constant need to upgrade my PC specs. When the xbox became the cost of a graphics card i made the switch, least when i buy a game now, i don't have to spend 1hour tweaking the graphics
